Schubert and Beethoven Trios

No composer has inspired as many film directors as Schubert. Excerpts from his works have been used as a score in more than a hundred films, e.g. in ’Sunshine’, in ’I Served the King of England’, in the recently premiered ’Phantom Thread’ or Stanley Kubrick's Oscar-winning ’Barry Lyndon’ where the film's atmosphere is largely determined by the second movement of Schubert's Piano Trio in E flat major.
